Letters Patent No. 112,062, dated February 21, 1871' IM PROVEME NT. IN CARPENTERS PLANES.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the lame.

I, WILLIAM MILLER, of Boston, in the county of Sufi'olk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain Improvements in Planes, of which the following is a specification.

Eigure 1 is a perspective view of my invention;

Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same; and

Figure 3, a detached view of a modification.

The object'of this invention is to enable a carpentels plane to be operated at a greater distance from the workman than the length of his arm, as in planing floors, ceilings, 8m; and

It consists of a metallic yoke, pivoted to the plane, and provided with rollers and a projecting finger, and pivoted to a long stafi' or handle, as will hereinafter more fully appear.

In the drawing-- A represents the plane, on the side of which are the vertical flanges B.

C represents a yoke, which is pivoted to theflanges B by screws D.

The upper portion of yoke G is provided with lugs E and projection F, to the latter of which is attached a spring or finger, H.

The ends of yoke C are provided with rollers, I.

J represents a long handle or staff, which is pivotedplane A. The plane is thus caused to operate as is being drawn backward, and protecting the cuttingiron when not in use.

The finger B may be bifurcated, as shown in fig. 3, the bifurcations-H resting on the flanges B, thereby preventing the shaving from becoming clogged.

' Having thus fully described my invention, 4 Whatl claim as new, and desire to secure by Let'- ters Patent, is- Y 1. The combination of plane A, yoke C, and rollers I, substantially as described. "'2. The combination of plane A, yoke O, rollers I, and single or bifurcated finger H, substantially as described.

3. The combination of plane A, yoke 0, rollers I, finger H, and staff or handle J, substantially as described.

, In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence'of two subscribing witnesses. v

WILLIAM MILLER.
